Overview
Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, or the Prophet’s Mosque, is one of the most significant mosques in Islam, second only to Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. Located in the holy city of Medina, Saudi Arabia, it was originally established by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) after his migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This mosque served as both a place of worship and a community center, as well as a hub for social, political, and judicial activities, making it the heart of the early Muslim community.
The original structure was simple, consisting of a rectangular enclosure made from mud bricks and palm trunks, but over the centuries, the mosque has undergone numerous expansions and renovations by various Islamic rulers. One of the most notable expansions occurred during the rule of Caliph Uthman ibn Affan, who significantly increased its size to accommodate the growing number of worshippers.
